Answer 1

ok if you havent plucked your eyebrows before make sure you have some good tweezers. take a pencil or thin brush and look straight into the mirror and place it over your eye and eyebrow just outside of the color part of your eye. that is where your eyebrow arch should be. keep it thicker at the begining and then smaller up to the arch and smallest going after the arch. your eyebrows should end slightly longer than your eyes and begin where your eye begins. make it look as natural as possible by filling in with eyeshadow as close to your natural hair color as possible or something that wont look like you have a ton of makeup on. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 2

If they are really thick why do you draw them in.
Its important that you line the beging of your eyebrows (the inner part) to your eyes, and the ends to the ends of your eyes. You should look at what you have plucked after every 4-5 hairs. The shape and how thick or thin they should be depends on your featuers and the shape of your face. For example, if you have a large nose you should avoid super thin eyebrows. Since you have thick eyebrows you can probably make a nice arch. It might be easier to get them done profesionally the first couple of times.

Hi!!! I've had soooo many problems with my eyebrows too, I know how you feel!! The BEST thing is to see a professional!! You have to make sure you find someone who knows what they're doing, and has has a lot of experience doing eyebrows. Make sure to tell them exactly what you want, don't be the least bit shy or you may not get them how you want!! I would also recommend taking in pictures of people's eyebrows you like and would want your own to look like, like you do when you get your hair cut!! I know it sound strange, but this will give the cosmetician a better idea of what you want. Also, take advantage of their knowledge... They know what shapes, and sizes will work best for your specific facial structure and features. You can see the cosmetician as often as you think you need... If you go in and get them done and you think you can keep the shape yourself by plucking, well fantastic!!! I, personally go in about once a month!! Hope I've helped, and GOOD LUCK!! Let me know how it goes!!

Answer 4

When u pluck, u want a "shape" of the eyebrow.
So, if thery'e thick, just make an arch beginning at center of eye.
and thin a little as you create an arch, and to end of eye.
But, at the beginning of ur eye, pluck only some, not to much.
As you go along slowly....u will see the effect u want. Plus, look
at magazines and notice how they do theirs.

Answer 5

Just be careful- I've had the "plucking-too-much" problem before, and it's not pretty! Decide on the shape you want, and don't make them too thin, it looks weird. You can also buy a shaping kit (Sephora has a nice one). It comes with shapers that you can place over your eyebrows to get the desired shape, tweezers, a brush, a pencil, etc. Good luck! Don't worry, it gets easier the more you do it.

Answer 6

If you want to see what you should pluck, go to a salon and have them waxed. They'll do it in just the right shape. After that, just pluck where they waxed. That should do it. If they're thick, I wouldn't be drawing them in because they don't need anything added to them. They're probably already full enough. I hope that this can help you!

Answer 7

spend 10 dollars go get them waxed once and then u can pluck the hairs that are growing back once there done they ask u if u like them and if u dont and want them thinner they'll do it more.

or just have one of ur friends that plucks her or his eyeborws to do it for u and show them what u want them to be shaped like.

or u can just look in the mirror draw over ur eyebrows where u want them to be and them pluck everything outside of the pencil marks.

Answer 8

I think waxing and plucking is best first wax and then get the strays w/ the tweezers and if you don't feel confident you can go to a beauty salon and get it done and then just continue to follow the pattern or just go every two weeks it shouldn't cost more than $10 but following the pattern once set is not hard you can wax or use a razor to do it too

Answer 9

get a white eyeliner pencil & draw on the hairs that you want to take out, that way you can see that they will be even & you dont make any mistakes. Pul only 1 hair out at a time so you dont bleed. and wipe the area with a cotton ball that has alcohol on it it may sting for a second tho, but do that several time throughout the process. and i usually have a little piece of toilet paper to put the hairs on after each pluck.

Answer 10

really plucking your eyebrows is kind of hard for the reason that your first time is hard because you can mess up......but how about you let it grow again and go wax it.....but make sure you go to salon that CAN do your eyebrows nice and the way you want it.....after you do all that then later when your hair is starting to grow then you can plug out the ones that aregrowing.......it will make it easier for you.
